About Us
Who We Are
We are a small team of curious minds, passionate researchers, and dedicated writers. We are students, history enthusiasts, and lifelong learners who share a deep, abiding respect for the intellectual and spiritual heritage of ancient India.
We are not scholars in an ivory tower, ordained priests, or enlightened gurus. We are people like you, who at some point felt a pull to understand the vast ocean of wisdom contained in texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas, and found the journey both awe-inspiring and, at times, overwhelming.
Hinduscript.com is our attempt to build the resource we wish we had when we started—a clear, organized, and accessible starting point.
Our Mission: A Bridge, Not a Destination
Our mission is singular: to build a bridge for the modern seeker.
We see the ancient Hindu scriptures as towering, magnificent libraries. But for someone new, knowing where to begin can be daunting. Our work is to help you find the door, open it, and offer a simple map of the first few rooms. We aim to:
- Demystify: Explain complex concepts, names, and themes in clear language.
- Organize: Present information in a structured, logical way—by text, by theme, by key idea.
- Attribute: Always, always credit the sources. We are not the origin; we are guides pointing you to the original wells of knowledge.
- Facilitate Discussion: Provide a space (our comment sections) for thoughtful, respectful dialogue among fellow learners.
We are a humble bridge between your curiosity and the profound depth of the original scriptures. The destination—true understanding, is a personal journey that lies beyond us, in your own study and reflection, ideally with guidance from qualified teachers.
Our Core Principles: How We Work
Every article, every page, and every decision on this site is guided by these principles:
- Human-First Creation: Every word of our original explanatory content is written by a person. We do not use AI to generate, interpret, or summarize these sacred texts. We believe this work requires human sensitivity, context, and respect.
- Reverence, Not Ownership: We state this unequivocally: We did not write the scriptures. The Vedas, Upanishads, and all other shastras are the eternal, sacred heritage of the Hindu tradition and of humanity. They are thousands of years old. Our role is solely that of a presenter and compiler. When we provide translations, we will always name the original translator or publisher. We claim no ownership over the divine word.
- Clarity Over Authority: We strive to explain, not to preach. We present information, not dogma. Our goal is to make you curious enough to look up the primary sources and respected translations for yourself.
- A Space for Community: We believe learning happens in conversation. Our comment sections are intended to be respectful forums where insights and questions can be shared. We moderate to maintain a tone of constructive dialogue, not debate.
What We Are Not
To be perfectly clear:
We are not a religious or spiritual authority.
We are not a substitute for a Guru, Acharya, or Pandit.
We are not affiliated with any specific temple, math, or sectarian organization.
We do not provide personal spiritual advice, rituals, or initiations.
We are not the final word on interpretation. The scriptures have layers of meaning explored by great minds for millennia; we offer but one introductory perspective.
